Chris Quidgeon: Bare Knuckle Irons

Chris Quidgeon started tattooing in 1994, and began building tattoo machines under the name “Bare Knuckle Irons” in 2005. He started building machines to gain a greater perspective on the tools of his trade.

Chris prides himself on making quality machines by hand, and his machines are only built by him and him alone. He only sells to professionals, and guarantees all of his machines for life to the original buyer, unless altered after purchase. [*NEW* machines added to the TAM Pro Store on expanded page]
